From CNET: Ever wanted to use PayPal to make purchases on Amazon? Don't hold your breath.
That's the message Amazon Payments' vice president Patrick Gauthier offered in an interview with CNET on Monday when asked whether his company might someday bring PayPal's digital payments service to Amazon.com.
"It's quite simple," Gauthier said. "Amazon starts with the customer. If our customers were asking for it, it would have been on Amazon already."
Well, so much for that bit of speculation. Since eBay first announced in late 2014 that it was splitting from PayPal, there's been talk that PayPal could strike a partnership with Amazon, giving you an alternative form of payment at the biggest online retailer in the world by sales. The San Jose, California, payments company was prevented from such a deal while under eBay, a leading Amazon competitor.
Yet while such a partnership could get you interested in using PayPal again, Gauthier described how the benefits for Amazon weren't as clear.
